If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head.
If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Every Mondays at 1:30 straight after Polyclub, I go into our own language classroom we take our Cook Island lessons.

In Cook Island I (with other Island kids) get taught months, days, numbers and other things (In Island).

I enjoy doing my language because this teaches me how to use my language in the future.

It helps me to get better at understanding what my Island grandparents say to me.

Road Safety If you’re worried about falling on a bike, you'd never get on it Lance Armstrong In pedal ready, there were two groups. I was in the second group. Even though there were two groups we still did the same learning as each other. What I like about pedal ready was that we both went to Bothamley Park on Warspite Cres. The first group went to Bothamley Park, then we went to Bothamley Park the next day. This not only helped me by being safe on the road. This helped me by, let’s say I was a driver and there was a biker on the road or in front of me If that bike signals a sign I would give that biker way. So it helped me by also learning how to keep others safe on the road.

Awesome cooking Don’t just cook it, create it. - Myself This picture is me cooking a pikelet(s). Every Thursdays the year 7/8’s go to Brandon Intermediate from 12:30 - an hour. Right now I am in singing - but this is about cooking. I enjoyed being in cooking not only did we just cooked each week but we also learned different types of recipes I learned a vegetarian hamburger. Cooking helped me by learning recipes so that in the future when I have my own family I know that I can cook up easy cool quick meals.

We performed six song like: he mokopuna, he toanga, ka panapana, ite timatannga, heturoa, tumai ra. When we were gonna do the mokopuna we had to go out and take off our socks and were our bear feet. Jilliane had to start off he mokopuna then after that we sang it all together. Matua David went all the way down the end of the marae were the builders were working. We sang E te rangatahi on the grass we had to take our socks off. Then we did the rest of the songs outside on the grass. When we finished we went inside but before we went Inside we had to wipe our feet one the mat for example not inside the wharenui. Then we went into the wharenui. We sat down in the wharenui. After that Matua David was talking for a very long time. Then finally he was finished. Then we were finished. We ran all the way through the hallway then we wen...
